The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse represent war, conquest, famine and death.

Explore the exciting role of how the horse shaped and reshaped Western Europe from the fall of Rome to the coming of the Renaissance. Not only is the always interesting role of the knight during this period covered but also how the horse affected the average citizens.
